The home side look the lead inside the opening two minutes when Gylfi Sigurdsson found Nathan Dyer with a backheel, allowing the winger to round Ben Foster before tapping into an empty goal.

Wilfried Bony almost doubled their lead a couple of minutes later, firing just high, before blasting the ball wide later in the half.

However, the Swans did find a second midway through the opening period, as Wayne Routledge controlled a high ball before volleying sweetly home from the edge of the box.

Jonas Olsson almost handed the Welsh side a third when he tried to head the ball clear, but mistimed his jump and nodded the ball onto his own crossbar.
